THE DOOM OF RIPARIANlsM

The English riparian monster
that has worked such sad havoc
with the irrigation interests of Cal
ifornia. has at last been wiped out
by an Act of the LEGISLATURE The
Post saws that the passage of this
single bill will atone for all the
sins of the Legislature, and had it
passed no other Act it could have
gone back to the people to be well
coined. 1t has always been re-
proach to the Bench of California
that it sanctioned the saddllng OF
this ill-Gtting law of England upon
the Pacific Coast. The Supreme
Bench Of this State some years ago
decided that the riparian law of
England did not hold in Nevada,
but subsequently, 1t invoked the
English law in more recent decis-
ions, following in the wake of the
Supreme Court of California. Now
that the doctrine of riparian owner
ship no longer holds in California,
it will doubtless be discarded by
our Supreme Court.
An effort was several times made
to pass bills in the last Legislature
of this State relative to water rights,
and tending to the abolition of ri
parian ownership. No such laws
were passed, however. The instant
such q bill made its appearance
some one would look wise, talk
about vested right" and make an OBJ
lection to amy change" The idea
of changing any old established
condition, no matter how absurd,
was something regarded with holy
horror by a majority of the mem
bers.
Senator Poujaae fought all water
legislation, and Senator Foley
strenuously advocated the passage
of water laws, which were badly
needed in this State.
Both these gentlemen are candi-
dates for Congress, and the APPEAL
proposes to keep before the people
of Nevada the records of all aspir-
ants for high office, and keep the
voters posted as to how they stood
on the question of irrigation, a
question all-important to this State.
A man who is not broad enough to
legislate on these subjects has no
right to ask the people for high Of
fee. The Supreme Bench mast
also be willing to deal intelligently
with this question. It must deal
with it from a common sense stand
point, upon basis of Justice and
equity between man and man, and
not retard the progress of State de-
velopement by trifing TECHNICAL
ties. If the Supreme Bench of Ne
vada cannot adjust itself to the
progress of the times, to justice and
common sense, it must step down
and make way for men who can
handle these questions with fair
ness and intelligence.
We must no longer ask ourselves
what is good for England, but what
is good for Nevada. The next man
who asks for the nomination of Su-
preme Judge must be in a position
to submit his record on these mat
tore m the paonle for inspection.

that their excrtions would not be wasted. Although
